After updating Codex Desktop on Windows, all local historical sessions across multiple projects fail to resume.
What platform is your computer?
No response
What issue are you seeing?
This is what the codex ask me to copy.
Observed error:
cannot resume running thread ... with stale path:
requested C:\Users<user>.codex\sessions...\rollout-.jsonl,
active \?\C:\Users<user>.codex\sessions...\rollout-.jsonl
Environment:
Windows Codex Desktop: OpenAI.Codex_26.513.3673.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
New session cli_version: 0.131.0-alpha.9
Older affected sessions: 0.130.0-alpha.5
Evidence:
rollout .jsonl files exist and parse correctly
state_5.sqlite contains mixed path spellings
.codex-global-state.json also contains mixed workspace roots
reopening the new client rewrites paths back to \?...
Expected:
Codex should canonicalize Windows paths before stale-path comparison.
C:...\file.jsonl and \?\C:...\file.jsonl should be treated as the same file.
